Bibliography
NYARTS Magazine, January 2007
"...Andy Denzler's painting allows a viewer to enter into a private, psychogeographic space. ..."

University of the Arts London, Autumn 2006
Douglas Lewis Curator comments on the group exhibition Space
Between and discusses #7 Less Common: "...Each space, each canvas
Denzler paints suggests a type of psychological landscape in which

landscape that shapes itself through color, time and mystical
topologies. ..."
